SCREAMING V16 BRM - Interview and On Track

- Raymond Mays was a regular hill climb competitor and it was in Prescott that he clinched the 1947 British Hillclimb Championship title behind the wheel of his ERA R4D,
Mays had founded BRM or British Racing Motors in 1945. Perhaps the most famous car that they built was the V16, powered by a 1.5 litre, 16-cylinder supercharged engine. Along with Mays, Frenchman Raymond Sommer, Reg Parnell and, most famous of all, Stirling Moss drove the car. The V16 is renowned among motorsport aficionados for the remarkable engine note produced by the immensely complex engine and visitors to Prescott were able to hear as well as see the car in action.
Chris Drewett talks to Rob Hall, of Hall & Hall, who were responsible for the build of the 'new' V16

What a beautiful piece of engineering . I remember to this day hearing the BRM at Goodwood on what may have been its first race and the sound has never lost its appeal
What a fantastic project and absolutely unique I'd have thought. Looks stunning and sounds even better. Huge congratulations to all who made this happen. ❤❤
That thing sounds really savage, Fangio loved it, Moss was wary of it, fabulous machine, great shame it wasn't reliable in the day, but they were pushing their technology beyond the limits.
I have this sound as the ring tone on my mobile. Incredible.
Great interview, thank you for sharing. This thing howling in the distance is SUCHHH A SOUNDDD!
That sound is always spine tingling 👌❣
Screaming is not a word I would use to describe this engine sound, raucous, loud and bellowing may be more apt.
Oh she screams. There is no way to not scream when it has that little displacement revving to 12k
What an incredible achievement, huge congrats to everyone involved with the project! 👏👍😀
Absolutely magnificent I am old enough to have witnessed it racing at Goodwood. What a sound from that magnificent engine
What an absolute beautiful terrifying beast!😁
Well summed up! 🤣
I saw this going up the hill on Saturday……..absolutely amazing experience…..I can only imagine what it’d be like sat behind the wheel!
Sounds like a Allosaurus..perfect build.👍
This car is spectacular 😊
Gloriously Brutal.
Incredible engine and automobile. And well driven!
That was the time when cars still had character.
Wonderful
I believe Chris use to announce Goodwood (I wish he still did)
F me, that's BRILLIANT ! Also, how does it manage to sound like a near 6 litre NASCAR engine !!
Actually, the question should be, why does a 6 litre NASCAR engine sound like a 1.5 V16. This was well and truly out long before the standardised v8 NASCARs run
Sounds like Nigel Mansell has a brother!
The engine snarl would scare LEO himself…
Pistons the size of a double scotch is a more accurate description
It’s not coil ignition, magnetos
In the book 'BRM' by Raymond Mays and Peter Roberts the pistons are described as being the size of polite coffee cups.
Why didn't the engineers consider to put wider rubber on the race cars of that era?
Good question, I don't know - limited manufacturing ability maybe? I wonder if anyone else knows?
@@HillClimbTV Well, given the high engineering complexity of the rest of vehicle - this car being a good example of that - it's hard to see wider rubber being insurmountable
I thought the engine was a flat 16 boxer.
That one was 3 litres and came out in the mid 60s !!
"with pistons about the size of a matamah" - WTF did he say?
Goodbye eardrums
SO much louder in person!
Presenter is running out of questions. Keeps harping on how stupid aircraft olio's are for the application, and glad someone can afford to pay which makes it alright. Beautiful sounding v16. My god.
Wasn't it a Mercedes designe
Imagine what that engine could do with more tire
